the seat is supposed to be safe to sit on when the aircraft is inside a shelter or hangar
It's designed that way so "inadvertent" activation is either down to the design, maintenance or operation of the seat.

It seems odd that HSE have only focused on the designer when maintenance & lack of a safety case clearly contributed - if not caused this.
